She knew what it meant.

She had seen Fleur, Audrey and Angelina go through it.

They hadn't planned it. No, it was a complete surprise.

Of course, it wasn't confirmed, but it was as good as.

That was why she could be found sitting on the bed, staring moodily at the wall. She was having trouble figuring out her feelings.

She was happy, sure. They had talked about having children once or twice, but had decided to wait awhile. After all, they had only just celebrated their first anniversary.

She was disappointed, that was a given. It meant she would have to resign from the Harpies earlier than she wanted. She'd seen her best friend from the team leave because of it.

She had no idea how she was going to tell him.

--

She sprinted to her book shelf. She had been in the shower when she remembered the book Hermione had bought her for her seventeenth birthday.

'Where is it...?' She ran her finger over the various books spines until she found what she was looking for. 'Aha!'

Ginny sat down on the floor, tucking her feet beneath her and paged through the book entitled '99 Spells a Girl Needs to Know'.

Skimming through the contents, she found what she was looking for and flipped to the appropriate page.

Quickly reading over the instructions, Ginny complied. She rolled up her sweater until just her abdomen was bare and gently placed her wand tip to the bare skin. Shaking slightly, she whispered the spell, even though she was alone.

'Positus vel infitialis.' Glancing at the book again, she read the next set of instructions to herself. 'Wait one minute for the spell to activate. If your abdomen glows blue, congratulations, if it glows red, then it is a negative.'

Her eyes trained on the clock, Ginny counted out a full minute. Taking a deep breath, she glanced down and saw blue.

'Oh my gosh...'

--

Ginny stood uncertainly in the middle of her sitting room. She didn't know, if it was positive, which ways she could travel.

Taking a deep breath, she apparated to her brother's house and knocked on the door. A few seconds later a tall witch with long black hair opened the door.

'Ginny!' Audrey exclaimed in obvious surprise.

'I- I need to talk to you.' Frowning slightly, Audrey opened the door wider and invited the younger witch in. 'Is Percy home?'

'No, he's at work and the girls are taking their nap. What's wrong?' Ginny sat heavily on the sofa and fidgeted with the hem of her cloak.

'I-' She hesitated. Why is it so hard? Taking a breath through her mouth, she said, 'I need you to confirm something for me. You're the only healer I know personally and there is no way in hell I'm going to St Mungos where it'll make front page news in today's Evening Prophet.'

'What do you need me to confirm?'

Looking up, Ginny met her sister in law's eyes. 'Positus vel infitialis.'

Audrey's eyes widened momentarily as understanding hit her. 'Of course Ginny, come to the kitchen.'

Ginny followed Audrey on shaking legs to the kitchen.

'Sit up on the edge of the table,' Audrey's authoritive tone coming into play. Ginny did as she asked, placing her hands behind her on the table and hoisted herself up.

'Have you been having any morning sickness, fatigue...?'

'Just morning sickness.'

'Does anyone else suspect anything?'

Ginny shook her head. 'Harry's been working late every time I've had to vomit and it only happened twice at my last training session.'

Audrey nodded. 'Let me take your cloak and then if you can roll up your jumper to just bellow you breasts... That's it. What did the test tell you?'

'Positive.'

'Okay, this spell I'm going to use takes only a few seconds to activate. Basically it'll show a positive or negative sign, depending. Ready?'

Not really. 'Yes.'

'Gravida per fetus?' Ten seconds went by before a small white positive sign appeared at the tip of the wand. 'I don't know how far along you are, but most likely six or seven weeks.'

Still in shock, Ginny stood and thanked Audrey before disappearing with a pop. She knew where she had to go next.

--

Ginny wrapped her cloak around her shoulders and opened the door to the Quidditch stadium the Harpies practised at.

Even though it was September and the season wasn't to start until later that month, Gwenog held a once a week practise for each position. It was the beater's practise today.

Breathing slowly, Ginny entered the pitch and sat on the lowest riser, waiting for the practise to finish.

Fifteen minutes later, the two figures in the air landed, and one made its way to the changing room while the other approached Ginny.

'Ginny, what're you doing here? Chasers don't practise for two more days,' Gwenog Jones, captain of the Holyhead Harpies greeted her celebrated chaser.

'I need to talk to you Gwen.'

Raising her eyebrows, Gwenog led Ginny to her office and told her to take a seat.

'I'm resigning.' The reaction Ginny got was not one she expected.

'Really, care to explain?'

'I'm pregnant.'

'Ah, I thought so.'

Head snapping up, Ginny asked, 'What?'

'I saw you speed to the garbage twice last week during training. I saw it happen with Gabriella two seasons ago, and many other times. I've learned to recognise when one of my players is pregnant.'

'I'm sorry. I never imagined I'd have to resign this early. We didn't plan to have kids until I felt I was ready to resign. Ten years maybe, but definitely not five.'

'It's fine Ginny, but now I'll have to find a new chaser who measures up to your standards.' Ginny gave a little smile.

'So what's going to happen?'

'Well,' Gwenog leaned back in her chair. 'You won't have to come to the roster release and press conference this Sunday. Saturday I'll call a team meeting and inform everyone of what's happening. You can come if you wish. We'll use a reserve for the first few weeks until I find a new player and she's been trained up. Of course, if you ever want to come to a game owl me. That's all I suppose.'

Ginny nodded and stood. 'Thank you Gwen.'

'It's no problem. We'll miss you though.'

'I'll come to the team meeting Saturday. And... Can you please not tell anyone?'

'Of course. Bye, oh and congratulations.' Ginny gave a wave and left the office, apparating as soon as she was outside the stadium.

--

When she returned home, Ginny found an owl waiting for her. She removed the letter from the bird's claws and immediately recognised the handwriting.

Ginny

I'm going to be home late tonight, around eleven. The good part about working this late is Robards says it'll be my last late night for a while. I'll see you soon,

Harry

Ginny sighed and tossed the letter into the rubbish bin. At least it gives me some time of how I'm going to tell him...

Not quite knowing how she was feeling, Ginny went about the pale blue kitchen and made herself a small dinner of a corned beef sandwich. It was basically all she had been able to hold down for the past week. Luckily Harry had to leave early and come back late for the past two weeks, otherwise he would have noticed something. They'd hardly seen each other, and Ginny couldn't wait until he got home and had the weekend off.

As she climbed into bed later that night, she couldn't help but feel nervous of Harry's reaction. She fell asleep thinking of all the possible reactions.

--

Two hours later Ginny was woken by someone climbing into the bed beside her. She felt strong arms go around her and felt some confidence appear. She took the hand and kissed the palm.

'I didn't wake you, did I?' Harry's voice asked.

'It's alright.' Silence. 'Harry?'

'Mhm?' He sounded half asleep.

'I resigned from the Harpies.'

'What?' He sounded surprised. He should. There were no clues I was going to resign this early.

'I resigned.'

'Why?'

'Because of my health.'

'What do you mean? What's wrong?' Ginny rolled around so her forehead was on Harry's chest and hooked her legs with his.

'Nothing's wrong... I'm at risk playing though.'

'You're not hurt or anything, are you?'

'No.'

'Ginny, what's wrong?' He sat up, pulling her with him, grabbing hold of her shoulders. He sounded frightened.

'I'm pregnant.' She felt Harry freeze.

'Wh-What?' His voice was hoarse. She looked up into his face, but couldn't see very well; it was too dark.

'I'm pregnant.'

'Are you serious?'

Her whispered yes was almost inaudible. Scared Harry was angry, she was surprised when she saw his face split into a smile and was gathered in a strong hug.

'Ginny, that's great! But you didn't want to resign this early, did you?'

'No. I expected to play for at least two more years. How did this happen? We didn't plan it at all.'

'No... But it doesn't mean we can't accept it and be happy.' Ginny gave a choked laugh and gave him another hug which he pulled back from and kissed her until they were lying down again. 'I love you,' he breathed against her lips before he started trailing kisses down her collarbone.

Groaning, she replied, 'I love you too,' before removing his shirt.

And they were lost in a flurry of love.

Author's Note - Well, as you can all see, I've started a new story. I have no idea how long it'll be. The chapters will take longer to be posted as I'm taking my time to write this. I was it to be much better than my previous four. I'll try not to make the wait too long. I hope all my previous readers enjoy it and all my new ones go back and read my other four. Bye for now!
